Despite being commonly known, Chamomile is not just a benign little flower that tastes sweet in your cup, it packs a powerful medicinal punch. Chamomile should not be thought of in terms of what specific diseases it can be used for, because there are too many uses to list, nor is is helpful to only think of what herbs can ‘do’. After reading though my favorite herb books, I summarize the actions of chamomile as being:

Relaxing nervine for states of tension

Aromatic and bitter for regulating digestion

Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy

Anti-microbial

Safe, tasty and suitable for everyone, including babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly

Matthew Wood says that “The fresh preparations preserve the oils, so they are more relaxing, the dried preparations are bitter and promote secretions to the stomach, G.I. and liver.”

Here are some of the chemical constituents present in chamomile and their generalized actions (mostly from Wood, but also from Simon Mills, David Hoffmann and Chanchal Cabrerra)

Flavanoids –  cooling and relaxing

Bitter sesquiterpene lactones – stimulate digestive juices

Volatile oils –  antipyretic, anti-spasmodic, can reduce histamine-induced inflammation

Mucilage – soothing, nutritious and immuno-stimulating

Amino acids, fatty acids and many more

There are bad doctors. Doctors are human and they are fallible. Stop telling people otherwise, especially chronically ill kids. They need to know that sometimes the doctor will screw up and that they will likely be the only one to pay the price for it. Doctors can be prejudiced, doctors can be wrong. They are giving their “medical opinion,” which is fine, just don’t try to treat it like law when four other doctors would give you four different answers.

If I had been taught this growing up I would’ve understood why the first 4 doctors either made jokes about my inability to get out of bed to my face or told me that was normal.

Instead I felt like they must know best because they’re the doctor. Now I’ve learned that if I see a doctor and they make me uncomfortable I don’t have to go back to them. It’s not worth it. Keep looking and you’ll eventually find the good ones.
